SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,061, dated January25, 1881. Application filed December 21, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES SNEIDER, of New York, in the county of NewYork, and in the State of New York, haveinvented certain new and usefulImprovements in Scrap-Books; and Ido hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in scrap-books of thatclass in which the leaves are provided with adhesive surfaces atsuitable intervals, to which the printed or other matter to be attachedthereto may be conveniently secured by moistening the adhesive surfacesor the material to be attached and placing the surfaces of the two injuxtaposition. As heretofore constructed these adhesive surfaces havebeen formed by applying mucilage or other similar cementing material atproper intervals to the face or faces of the sheets of the scrap-bookand allowing the same to dry. As thus constructed it has been found thatin most climates the adhesive surfaces are apt to become softened andcause' my invention.

The letter A indicates thejsheets of the book, which are composed ofpaper or any other 4.0 suitable fabric, andcoated on one or both" sideswith mucilage, gum, or other suitable adhesive material.

The letterB indicates a sheet or sheets of paper or other similarfabric, which is out through in any suitable designs at properintervals, as indicated by the letter I), and applied to'the sheets andcemented thereon, so as to leave the cemented or gummed surfaces exposedthrough the opening, so that the matter to be secured to the sheet maybe securely fastened thereto by moistening the exposed portions, or bymoistening the matter to be attached and placing it upon the sheets andallowing it to dry thereon.

As constructed, it will be perceived that the superimposed sheetsapplied to the leaves of the book when the same is closed keep theadhesive surfaces separated, so that they cannot possibly adheretogether, even if softened under atmospheric influences.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

A scrap book having the leaves thereof coated with adhesive material andprovided with superimposed sheets of paper or other material, cutthrough at suitable intervals in suitable designs, so as to prevent theadhesive surfaces from meeting, and at the same time permit the matterto be secured to the leaves to be attached thereto, substantially asspecified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this2d day of December, 1880.
